RAF Wethersfield in Essex has been earmarked to house 1,700 asylum seekers by the autumn.
Former home secretary Dame Priti Patel has accused her former department of being"evasive" and"secretive" over how long it plans to use a former RAF base to house asylum seekers.
The site near Dame Priti's Witham constituency has been earmarked to house 1,700 asylum seekers by the autumn as part of plans to reduce spending on hotels, with the first residents having arrived in July. In the letter posted to X, formerly Twitter, the former home secretary said that when it was announced on 29 March that the site would be used for asylum seekers, the length of time it would be used was not stated.
